Remove Network Traffic Arrow without Substratum - Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion

This is for those who wanted to remove the annoying network traffic arrow without Substratum, you can simply use this app (it's not made by me) and follow the adb command from its play store description, the app itself won't do the trick.
Tested from stock unrooted A1 on latest Oreo January patch.

Wow... a small app and a simple adb command just made my A1 a much better phone! HUGE thanks to OP and the developer of this app! Really loving this!

Can i run the command through the adb shell on the phone? Or it needs to be done on PC/laptop?

Change "enabled" with " disabled" for restore arrows

did it with my PC thanks so much OP! now how to disable this annoying blinking led light when the phone is having low battery?

Can someone help me I've been struggling with an embedded private network that is linked to my isp and or phone service. I know I'm at the wrong area but my direct email is [email protected] .. I'll gladly donate to whomever that can help. 7069130336

I installed the app from the play store and then ran the adb command "adb shell cmd overlay disable --user 0 com.keypressure.disable_network_activity_indicator" but to no success. Am I doing something wrong? I've used adb before to enable system ui tuner and some other apps. Using xz1 compact.

I had to reboot the phone after installing the app and before issuing the command in adb, so maybe try that.

[Q] DPI Changed

Hello Guys,
Today I was training to put my DPI higher, so my grandfather could see the screen.
Sadly when I booted with a DPI of 720, the process 'Trebuchet' stops.
The message of it, will continue again and again.
Do you guys maybe know how I can change my DPI back? (Using Recovery or bootloader)?
Thanks!
Try all winner apk. Not sure but might be it can help u.

I cannot boot my phone, so using an app is not a option.
The only thing I can do is use Bootloader and TWRP (recovery).

Use adb, connect device to computer, adb shell, cd/system, open build.prop by using nano build.prop change DPI back to required value Ctrl x saves the file. Exit to get out of adb shell and reboot phone.

At his moment, I got another problem.
All the adb commands return: "error: device not found".
The USB Debugging is on, to do that, I used "setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1".
But now it still does not find the device.

Could somebody upload his/her build.prop?
I think that would do the job.
Sorry for my answer to your problem... I want to say that next time when you want to modify the DPI use the above app. Anyway, whatever...
I fixed it, with flashing a new rom.
After 20 tries, I could copy the .zip to my /sdcard/ folder and I could flash it.

Stereo Speaker Mod

Hey guys, just got my Pixel today. I was wondering if there is a mod that turns the earpiece into a loud speaker like the mod for the XL? Thanks.
I am using this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/themes/mod-enabling-dual-speaker-audio-playback-t3492257
However, do note that the earpiece speaker is too soft and negligible to work together for Stereo. My goal is to get the speaker to be louder and it does that.
It's all explained in the thread

Does this work for the non-XL pixel? The reason I ask is because I thought that was only for the XL. I'll give it a try tomorrow though.

I just tried to do the mod and it hasn't worked for me. When I try to use the adb commands, it always says no such file or directory. I even tried the older method of dowloading the mixer_paths file but I can't change permissions for that. How did you manage to do it?

Well, there are 3 steps.
For first step, I simply copied the gz file into the /data/local/tmp folder using root explorer. I found this method easier than ADB.
For 2nd/3rd step, you need to execute the commands in root shell. (type su, enter) to grant root access before doing the 2 commands.

Adb global settings?

So I can across this on my Google + feed and was wondering what the exact command would be and if there are other "global settings " commands to use with adb? I am on stock 8.1 on my sailfish and I'm curious to see if this can help resolve my Volte issue or not:
"Can I (and should I) enable VoLTE on my Nexus 6?
While messing around in adb's "settings list global" command I came across this toggle: volte_feature_disabled=1
Is this something that we can play around with?"
What do you guys/gals think?

Yeah, adb will let you change anything in the settings database. Not going to hurt anything to try. I changed some settings on my Pixel to force wifi calling to be preferred.

This was for the wifi calling. I guess just substitute your VOLTE variable. An easier way is to get settings database editor from the play store. It gives you instructions on how to grant the app system permission with adb. Then you can edit the database directly from your phone.

If the string you're looking for isn't already in your database I doubt you'll be successful in adding a new string as not all phones have the same settings.

Is your phone a pixel and what exactly are you trying to enable? You wanting VOLTE and wifi calling? Even with it enabled in the Database your phone will need to be provisioned by the carrier for it to work.

Yeah, it's a pixel. Yes I want wifi and volte. I'm guessing my phone really does need to be bought from the carrier to work because I already chatted with phone support and they sent the config but nothing changed. Thought maybe I had to something else. Damn. Thanks again man.

Call recording

Can anyone confirm that this 9.0 pie update breaks all call recording app from the play store. Thanks for your feedback.
Updated to Android 9 today and boldbeast no longer works, it will record my voice but not that of the call )-: I am considering root now to get the feature back as i did find it useful.
Update: found this on the play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.jroot3d.joneplustools&hl=en_GB
Its all working fine now as it enables the oneplus6 built in recorder.
Thanks
But that also means that it wouldn't work without root like myself. Right?
Guess I gotta stick with my 8.1 until someone figures this one out. This one feature is like super important to me atm.
Thanks again for your kind reply.
Hi,
No root required, my phone is standard no unlocked bootloader and no root.
You just need to install the software, then enable developer options on your phone, enable usb debbugging and send the following command to your phone. adb shell pm grant net.joneplustools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Then you will have the option in the software (joneplustool) to enable call recording and also restore calling recorder at boot.
Then on the phone dialler , go into settings and enable call record.

I wanted to give it a try, but I can't use it unless I give permission to access my contacts. A call recording app should work without that. So: sorry, won't test it any longer.

When you say you used it on Pie, do you mean the beta or final version?

You can also use Tasker to enable native call recording (provided you've granted WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission to Tasker).
It seems the system deactivates jOnePlus from activating call recorder after 8 hours. Anyway to make it a permanent activation?
Even after removing jOnePlus from the battery optimize list, the call recorder still gets deactivated after a couple of hours.

I took the official OTA Pie upgrade and enabled the recorder with adb command after that. I'm not planning to root my phone, at least not yet. I'm enjoying the Pie Rom as is. It's all good, actually great with the night mode, there is no bloat. I disabled few apps, mainly from google and that's that. I remember times when rooting was an important necessity, I've had a Motorola Defy XT, long time ago, with 1GB RAM and no space for any extra apps, rooting was mainly used for getting the bloat out and moving apps to SD card by way of creating ext4 partition.
My OP6 has 256GB storage space, 8GB RAM and I just don't feel like constantly reloading the system, chasing newest twrps and Magisk versions, softbricking etc,etc.. and having my phone 'off line' for hours while I'm fixing it.

I thought that interesting. Anyway, I tried a search for com.huawei.android.hwouccls on my phone from what was listed as \ and found nothing. So I have no idea what to list as the size. And then there will be the syntax to do so.
I hate having to be so needy. Since I stopped rooting and using custom ROMS, my skills have seriously rusted.
I should add that I searched for com.huawei.android.hwouccls with App Inspector as mentioned in your link, and don't find it. My phone is not rooted...maybe that has something to do with that.
